BLM Timber Sales Generate More Than $10.7 Million During Second Quarter

The Bureau of Land Management generated more than $10.7 million from timber sales in Oregon and California during the second quarter of 2026, according to figures released by the agency.

Between April and June, the BLM sold approximately 41 million board feet of timber from about 1,500 acres. The agency estimates that is enough lumber to build nearly 2,600 homes.

BLM officials said the timber sales help support jobs in logging, milling and construction while adding to the domestic supply of wood products.

The results were announced following a visit to western Oregon by recently confirmed BLM Director Steve Pearce. During the trip, Pearce met with agency employees, timber industry representatives and local mill operators to discuss timber production on BLM-managed lands.

Pearce said the visit gave him an opportunity to see the work being done on the ground and hear directly from people involved in the region’s timber industry.

More timber sales are planned this summer. The BLM expects to hold six sales in July, offering approximately 31 million board feet of timber from nearly 835 acres.

The agency manages 58 million acres of forests nationwide, including approximately 2.4 million acres in western Oregon. BLM officials say timber management also plays a role in reducing wildfire risks, maintaining wildlife habitat and supporting communities that depend on forestry-related employment.

More information about upcoming timber sales and previously completed sales is available through the BLM timber sales program.
